随着癌症病例在贫困国家增长最快,联合国国际癌症联盟主席当选人扎伊娜布·什卡菲-巴古杜表示,非洲需要在研究、诊断和预防方面进行投资。

With cancer cases rising fastest in poorer countries, Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, president-elect of the Union for International Cancer Control, says Africa needs investment in research, diagnosis and prevention When Dr Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu last saw Gloria in Abuja, the young breast cancer patient was so ill that she was in hospital.

然而,在上个月举行的香港国际癌症会议上,巴古杜再次见到了她。
